"Many of the great ballplayers of the Negro Leagues have almost been forgotten. One of the reasons is that baseball's Hall of Fame would not recognize black players until Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige gained their plaques." "For this book, more than 50 former Negro Leaguers and baseball historians were asked to vote for players they believe should have been included in the Hall of Fame - and to select an All-Time Negro League All-Star Team. In addition to presenting and discussing their choices, the book profiles the lives and careers of the players selected."--Jacket
